🌟 Moruga Purple Cream Chilli Seeds – Grow a Mesmerizing, Superhot Exotic in Your Garden!

Are you excited to cultivate a visually stunning and intensely powerful pepper? Our Moruga Purple Cream Chilli Seeds offer that rare chance. This enchanting color variation of the infamous Trinidad Moruga Scorpion blends captivating purple-and-cream pods with the heart-stopping heat of its legendary predecessor. Ideal for bold gardeners and thrill-seeking cooks, this pepper will elevate your garden’s flair—and your kitchen’s fire.


🌱 Variety

The Moruga Purple Cream is a unique color morph of the record-holding Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, celebrated for its ornate pods and unparalleled heat. While standard cultivars are red, the Purple Cream variant ripens in dramatic hues of lavender, violet, and pale cream—a breathtaking palette rarely seen in the hot-pepper world.


🔬 Species

This pepper belongs to Capsicum chinense, the botanical species behind most of the world’s hottest chilies, including the Carolina Reaper and Ghost Pepper. Members of this species are known for their fruity flavors and superhot burn.


🌍 Origin

The original Trinidad Moruga Scorpion emerged from the Moruga district of Trinidad and Tobago and was officially named the world’s hottest pepper in 2012. Though the red variety is most famous, the Purple Cream mutation appeared as a natural color variant and was later stabilized by passionate growers seeking a stunning alternative.

🎯 Description

Pods display mesmerizing gradients—starting lavender, transitioning to dark violet, and finishing in creamy hues. They measure around 4–6 cm (1.5–2.5 in) and take on a rounded, slightly wrinkled “scorpion” shape. The flavor is unexpectedly fruity with berry-like and subtle earthy notes—until the relentless superhot burn takes hold .


🌿 Plant Size

These plants grow vigorously to about 80–120 cm (2.5–4 ft) tall and branch well, producing abundant fruits on robust stems. They thrive in garden beds, raised containers, or greenhouses.


🌡️ Pungency

While color cooperation stands out, the heat is no joke. The classic Moruga Scorpion averages around 1.2 million SHU, and it can reach over 2 million SHU. Moruga Purple Cream delivers a similarly superhot experience— extremely fierce heat (“Superhot”) that builds slowly and lingers, renowned by the Chile Pepper Institute for its killer sting.


🌱 Grow Difficulty

This cultivar is moderately challenging to grow:

  • Seeds germinate best in warm, humid conditions (24–30 °C/75–86 °F) and need patience—up to 30 days sometimes.
  • They thrive in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil.
  • They’re sensitive to cold (<18 °C/65 °F) and require ample water without saturation.
  • Indoor starting is recommended in cooler climates to ensure a long season .

⏳ Days to Germination

Expect germination within 10–30 days, commonly around 14–21 days in optimal warmth and airflow.


🌾 Days to Harvest After Transplant

After transplanting into a warm garden or container, you’ll see ripening pods in roughly 90–120 days. Because they grow large and bushy, they produce steadily with proper care.


🍽️ Culinary Uses

Due to their superhot heat, these peppers are best used sparingly, but they excel in:

  • Artisan superhot sauces – create visually striking bottles with the purple-to-cream effect.
  • Exotic chili powders – air dry pods and grind for unique, colorful spice blends.
  • Infused oils or vinegars – just one pod imparts both intense flavor and a rich hue.
  • Gastronomic challenges – perfect for daring dishes and taste tests, provided you use PPE!
  • Ornamental accents – their gradient hues also make an eye-catching conversation starter on your spice rack or as dried décor.

Be sure to use gloves and avoid touching your face; the capsaicin in these pods is powerful enough to cause severe irritation.
